Omit date on testiminoals, reviews etc

General General Questions

How do I omit the date from showing on testimonials, comments & reviews? I’d also like to set the Author Name as optional & not required.



Thanks

Ok I figured it out. I went to:



skins/your_skin/customer/addons/discussion/discussion.tpl



& deleted:


```php



{$lang.author}: {$post.name}


{$lang.date_added}: {$post.timestamp|date_format:“$settings.Appearance.date_format, $settings.Appearance.time_format”}

```

This actually removed both the author name & date from appearing on any comments, reviews, testies, etc.

For removing the name field on the form, I am guessing it's done on the discussion_gr.tpl page, but can't figure out how to edit the code which is:

```php {* $Id: allow_discussion_gr.tpl 3807 2007-08-31 14:27:59Z zeke $ *}



{$lang.discussion_title_giftreg}:
*{assign var="discussion" value=$object_id|fn_get_discussion:$object_type}

{$lang.disabled}
{$lang.enabled}


```



Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,



I did this but removed this only



{$post.timestamp|date_format:“$settings.Appearance.date_format”}



from customer/addons/discussion/blocks/testimonials.tpl



Hope this helps.

Ok the above worked on product & category reviews as well as the testimonials page itself, but one more step is required to remove name and/or date from the testimonials that appear in the side box:



on the skins/your_skin/customer/addons/discussion/discussion_small.tpl page, remove the following:


{$lang.author}: {$post.name}

{$post.timestamp|date_format:"`$settings.Appearance.date_format`, `$settings.Appearance.time_format`"}

Ah… we’re using different templates as I don’t have a blocks folder in discussion. We should say which templates we’re using in case others want to implement this. I’m using the default_magenta template.

Agreed, I am using a modified version of Artificial Casting, not sure why we don’t have the same files. I think I have a blocks folder because I am displaying testimonials in a block on my home page. I don’t display them in the side box.

I'd like to omit the dates on the Testimonials page itself and also in the block I have for testimonials on the home page. I don't really want to remove the name of the person, just the date, as some of them are from 2009.



I am using the Artificial Casting skin, but the instructions from ywalker above didn't work for me. Thanks in advance for any help.
